It's funny, I'd argue the weakest season of 12 monkeys was season 1 where they were loosely following the plot of the movie. Season 2 onward is where they started doing their own thing and it became really good. One of the best finalies for a show too!
The likeness isn't the point or even what I'm trying to explain. In fact, I agree that they share a basic likeness. Again... If you really don't understand how an English actor portraying an Arab prince or an American Actor portraying a Mongolian can be problematic then you've missed the point, again. The point is that Hollywood in the 50s/60s hire famous actors, that really have no connection to the aforementioned historical figures, over actors that do. I'm sure there were many incredibly talented actors that are actually from east Asia that would've been a better fit to play Genghis Khan. Same for finding an actor from the Arabian Peninsula. These people were robbed of the chance to share their heritage over an actor with a bigger name and pull.
Sorry to confuse you. White and non-white was a blanket term because this post is also about John Wayne portraying Genghis Khan. If you really don't understand why an English actor portraying an Arab prince or an American Actor portraying a Mongol can be problematic then this all must be very confusing for you...
I don't think it really matters if he looks like the actual dude. It's rude as hell to pick a generic/famous white guy to portray a non-white historical figure. Some stills of him look really similar for sure but actually watching Lawrence of Arabia he just looks like someone rubbed dirt or bronze on his face and called it good enough
I played the hell out of Dragon Quest rocket slime! Recently I actually got the third one (only releasd in Japan) working on my phone! So far not as good as the second one 😂
Hard to say since the former is still a running number

This guy is going to roll his ankle so hard one day lol
I didn't know that! Also apparently the Barenaked Ladies had it right when they wrote Brian Wilson:
It's a matter of instinct
It's a matter of conditioning and a matter of fact
You can call me Pavlov's Dog

This is gold MeatCanyon material
This but sad instead of happy
These two are probably red rover pros
Go it. So Black-face sounds absurd to you but Brown-face or Yellow-face doesn't.
Next up "Florida man defends holywood using black-face to the death" citing " just as long as the actor did a good job" yehaaaw
